The Hunyuan Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi is a peerless martial art created by Liu Dufeng after combining the Hunyuan True Qi with the incomplete version of the innate invisible Sky-Breaking Sword Qi.
In Hunyuan, the vitality is not divided, and chaos becomes one, which is the beginning of vitality.
Hunyuan Zhenqi is neither yin nor yang, its attributes are highly similar to the vitality of heaven and earth, and it is also one of the branch skills of the Taoist lineage.
"Xiaoguan secretly believes that cultivating Hunyuan's body-breaking invisible sword energy is a process of forging swords."
"The first layer of the Hunyuan body-breaking invisible sword energy is the body-breaking invisible sword energy. The first layer is to temper the Hunyuan true energy and refine it into the body-breaking invisible sword energy. This part is made of refined iron.
The process of the sword.”
Liu Dufeng continued to talk about his understanding of Hunyuan's invisible sword energy.
"Cultivating and accumulating sword energy means that we have to repeatedly temper the refined iron to turn it into a sword. Therefore, when the invisible sword energy of Hunyuan breaks the body is at the first level, the sword energy cannot move according to the will and needs to be continuously accumulated."
"When the sword is formed, the first layer of the Hunyuan Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi has been refined. The second layer of the Hunyuan Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi is a process of tempering the sword's edge."
A sharp sword energy with a violent aura danced at Liu Dufeng's fingertips, as if it had the power to cut through gold and jade, cutting through mountains and seas.
"And the third level is the process of condensing the edge and sheathing the sword." Following Liu Dufeng's words, the Hunyuan body-breaking invisible sword energy jumping on his fingertips also began to slowly converge the edge.
But in the end, it was not complete.
Although there is no sharpness on the outside, Yang Qingyuan can still feel the sharpness in the sword energy, and there is still one step left before he can truly sheath the sword.
As long as he takes this step, Liu Dufeng's Hunyuan Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi will be fully realized, and it will also be the time when Liu Dufeng enters the realm of Fa Tianxiang.
Even Yang Qingyuan was amazed by Liu Dufeng's insights.
Although compared to Yuan Shisanqian and Zhuge Zhengwo, Liu Dufeng is slightly inferior, but if his Hunyuan Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi can be fully developed, he will be as good as the two of them after entering the realm of Fa Tianxiang.
Using the body as a sword, the human sword becomes one.
Every move and every move is filled with Hunyuan Sword Qi.
This is also Liu Dufeng's purpose and confidence in coming here. He dares to come here because he has made a breakthrough, and he comes here because he needs a life-and-death opponent to put pressure on him.
"amazing!"
After listening to Liu Dufeng's sword skills, Yang Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
This is not a fantasy world, or a world of martial arts. Not everyone can think of and do it as a sword.
It's a pity that although this road is good, it is not suitable for Yang Qingyuan.
Since ancient times, there have been two biggest differences in swordsmanship, and they are also the two paths of swordsmanship.
Based on the kendo represented by Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue and Yan Shisan. Practicing kendo is for the sword itself. There is no need for any reason. The sword is the sword, the purest and simplest.
The second type is the use of swords represented by Uncle Nie and Lang Fanyun. The sword is just the carrier of Tao. Why do you swing your sword? What does the sword in your hand carry? What does it represent? The sword is
Tools, not the Tao itself.
Yang Qingyuan is the person on the second road.
Although when he entered the Mysterious Cave, he aroused the vision of Wanjian Chaozong and was called the living swordsman, but to Yang Qingyuan, the sword was essentially just a tool, and the sword was used to carry the Tao.
And Liu Dufeng is a person on the first path. A person who takes the first path does not mean that he has no desires. As long as he is a human being, he will have seven emotions and six desires. Liu Dufeng will also pursue power, fame, and wealth, but these are not
It does not affect his pursuit of the sword.
Therefore, although Liu Dufeng's Hunyuan Body-Breaking Invisible Sword Qi can be used as a reference for Yang Qingyuan, Yang Qingyuan cannot take this path.
The two of them exchanged their experience in cultivating the body-breaking invisible sword energy, and both felt that they had benefited a lot.
"Sir, I wonder where the enemy is now?!"
Yang Qingyuan shook his head, "The opponent is more powerful than you imagine! Even if you see him, I don't recommend you to fight head-on!"
Liu Dufeng always respected Yang Qingyuan, but this time he didn't listen to Yang Qingyuan.
"Sir, I am a swordsman who would rather break than bend. If I immediately retreat because my opponent is strong, then why should I practice swordsmanship?"
Ever since Liu Dufeng broke through the cave and became the chief arrester of the six gates, he has never experienced a life-and-death battle again.
Now that he has such an opponent, allowing him to face life and death and sharpen his sword skills, how can he give up?!
This is the practice of the kendo-based lineage.
If it were Gai Nie, he wouldn't insist on such a thing.
Seeing the fighting spirit burning in Liu Dufeng's eyes, Yang Qingyuan knew that he could not persuade him.
"Mr. Liu arrests the head and waits here for a few days. Although you are not afraid of Emperor Shitian, there is no need for us to take the initiative to find Emperor Shitian. After all, the first priority now is to protect Zhao Min's safety."
Although Liu Dufeng didn't know the intention of protecting Zhao Min, he also knew that Yang Qingyuan would not spend so much effort on something meaningless.
Afterwards, he stayed in the inn next door, sharpening his sword energy, condensing his edge, laying a solid foundation, and waiting for the arrival of Emperor Shitian.
----------
Dazhou, the capital of gods.
The new emperor ascended the throne and all armies were reorganized.
The uncle of the King of Chu did not hesitate to join the new king and succeeded him as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army.
At the same time, the new emperor also mobilized part of the Tiance Army, the Jinyang garrison, and the Shenwu Army. After disrupting them with the remnants of the Imperial Guard Army stationed in the capital, they were mixed and reorganized to form a new Imperial Guard Army.
Among them are Cao Xueyang's 30,000 dragon cavalry and the supplementary 20,000 light cavalry.
Since ancient times, to seize military power, unless the other party is indeed guilty of a crime and has sufficient evidence, various tricks must be used.
For example, Taizu of the former Song Dynasty's classic way of releasing military power over a glass of wine; for example, Yue Wumu of the former Song Dynasty was transferred to the position of Deputy Privy Envoy, handed over military power, and was promoted openly and secretly.
Cao Xueyang enjoyed the treatment of Yue Wu and Mu Mu, who rose up and down secretly.
The Ministry of War drafted a decree that Cao Xueyang had made meritorious service in the Battle of Jinyang and was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Longwu Army. Although his title was not promoted, he was rewarded with a reward of 1,500 households in the city, ten boxes of Shu brocade, and fifty thousand taels of silver.
Cao Xueyang was originally the deputy commander of the Tiance Army, and was promoted to the chief commander of the Longwu Army. There was also a commander of the Longwu Army in between?! It was equivalent to jumping two levels in a row.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It seems like a huge reward, but in fact it secretly seizes Cao Xueyang's actual military power.
The Longwu Army was indeed one of the Six Armies of the Emperor, the main field army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, in the battle of Tumubao, Longwu's army was already crippled, and its remnants were reorganized into the Jinyang garrison by Yu Yanyi.
The current Longwu Army is an empty shell. Cao Xueyang, the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army, does not have more than 500 troops under his command, and this does not include the fire-headed troops who cook in the Longwu Guard.
Cao Xueyang was transferred to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Longwu Army, so naturally he could no longer continue to command the troops of the Tiance Army.
Therefore, these 50,000 soldiers and horses were disrupted and reorganized by the new emperor.
Cao Xueyang, on the other hand, moved into the Pingyang Marquis Mansion. He had no specific affairs and was just sitting in the Sixth Army Governor's Mansion.
There are not a few generals in Cao Xueyang's situation. Many of them were promoted openly and secretly, and were immediately incorporated into the Longwu Army as lieutenant generals. Later, the new emperor Zhu Zhankun replaced them with his own men.
This is where the title of Emperor is so powerful.
As the emperor's personal army, the Yulin Army naturally needed to be reorganized and replenished during the previous battle with Hou Jin.
Moreover, the new king acted extremely cautiously and mobilized troops and horses for reorganization without disrupting the military layout of various places in the Zhou Dynasty.
At the same time, the generals who originally led the troops were all rewarded. Even though they knew that the emperor was seizing power, they could only surrender obediently.
Even though Cao Xueyang was shining brightly and not showing off his eyebrows, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, so he came to Yu Yanyi's house.
"Captain Cao, why do you have time to come to my place?"
"You're welcome, Academician Yu. You are my elder. Just call me Xueyang."
We don’t know whether this elder is Li Chengen or Yang Qingyuan, and we dare not ask.
Yu Yanyi looked at it slightly and couldn't help but admire Cao Xueyang's style.
She is worthy of being the only woman since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty who can lead an army alone and become a marquis based on her military exploits. She is indeed extraordinary, Qingyuan has a good vision!
"Then I won't be polite. Xueyang doesn't have to be so open-minded. If you don't give up, just call me Uncle Shi!"
"Uncle Shi, what happened to Xueyang recently made me feel depressed and unhappy!"
Yu Yanyi raised his hand slightly and said softly, "I know what you want to say, but this is not the place to talk."
Yu Yanyi saw Cao Xueyang brought into the study, and then wrote the four words "Partition walls have ears" on the paper.
Cao Xueyang was slightly incredulous and asked through a message, "Uncle Shi, I don't know who has the courage to spy on the residence of the minister of the Ministry of War, the chief minister of the imperial cabinet."
A wry smile appeared on Yu Yanyi's lips, and then he nodded in the direction of his head with his finger.
Cao Xueyang was extremely smart and immediately understood what Yu Yanyi meant.
At this time, Yu Yanyi was the chief assistant of the Zhou cabinet, a scholar of Wuyingdian, a minister of the Ministry of War, and the governor of seven states. In the true sense, he was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Who else could be above him?!
"But... Uncle Shi is loyal to the country. If Uncle Shi hadn't defended Hou Jin's attack in Jinyang, how could there be today's peaceful Northern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty?! How could the land of Gyeonggi be as peaceful as it is now?
scene?!"
Cao Xueyang sent a message to Yanyi to fight against the injustice.
Yu Yanyi smiled bitterly, shook his head, and wrote, "If so, it won't be a big deal. I'm just afraid that the undercurrent is surging and the storm is about to rise!"
Zhu Zhankun's throne is not that secure.
Although he was the eldest son of the emperor, he was at odds with the Zhejiang Party and the Jingchu Party because of the Zhou Mingsheng case, and was still fighting to the death with the First and Third Clan.
There were not many supporters in the court, but it was the King of Chu who showed great success in the Battle of Jinyang.
He was brave, good at fighting, decisive and decisive, and seemed to have the legacy of Emperor Taizu Gao. The King of Chu seemed to have more supporters than the prince.
Under such circumstances, the emperor wanted to abolish the throne, and it was normal for the prince to consolidate his power.
But starting to reorganize the army in such a drastic way means that things may not be that simple.
"Uncle Shi, now not only me, but also some middle-level generals from the original Tiance Army and some generals from the Jinyang Garrison have been appointed to the Longwu Army. I'm not afraid of your laughter if I say it. Now Longwu
The generals of the army have less than ten soldiers capable of fighting alone..."
This is almost as good as John Bull's army of later Blue Stars, which had more major generals than tanks.
"It doesn't matter to me. I'm not a person who clings to power. But if the emperor does this, it can easily cause turmoil. Especially when he has just succeeded to the throne, it is easy to give others control."
Although Yu Yanyi did not support the crown prince, now that Zhu Zhankun had ascended the throne, the matter was a foregone conclusion, so naturally he could only support him.
If you don’t support the prince, is it possible that he will imitate Huo Guang Yiyin and do the deeds of establishing and abolishing the throne?!
…
------------------
"Surround the palace!"
While Yu Yanyi and Cao Xueyang were talking, Changlin's army had already surrounded the Chu Palace.
A general of the Royal Forest Army, holding a token, said loudly, "The emperor has spoken: Someone with knowledge of the matter has reported that the King of Chu intends to rebel, and there are witnesses and physical evidence. The evidence is conclusive. However, remembering that the King of Chu, Zhu Zhangui, is my brother, I have specially ordered the director of the West Factory."
Investigate it in Yuhuatian. The Prince of Chu’s Mansion will be sealed off from now on, and everyone from top to bottom will be detained pending trial!”
As the imperial army general finished announcing his decree, Xichang Yuhuatian slowly rode out from behind on horseback.
"Where is Chu King Zhu Zhangui?! He still hasn't accepted the order!?"
At this moment, in the palace of Prince Chu, Zhu Zhangui was calmer than expected.
"Hey! From the moment my brother ascended the throne, I knew that such a day would come, but I didn't expect that he would be so impatient!? So impatient to deal with me!"
Emperor Zhou had only three legitimate sons, the new king Zhu Zhankun, born to the first Queen Xiaode, the prince born to the current queen, Chu King Zhu Zhangui, Wei King Zhu Zhanjun, and the other three adult princes were all concubines.
Therefore, the only ones who can truly threaten Zhu Zhankun's throne in terms of etiquette and law are Chu King Zhu Zhangui and Wei King Zhu Zhanjun.
However, Wei King Zhu Zhanjun was just a child at this time and posed little threat to him.
The king of Chu and the prince have been fighting for many years. He has military exploits and many supporters in the court. If he is not dealt with, the prince may not be able to sleep at night.
Once the King of Chu colluded with the army to rebel and launched a coup, Zhu Zhankun could not guarantee that he would be able to put down the rebellion and secure the throne.
Therefore, the new king Zhu Zhankun strikes first to gain the upper hand.
"Your Highness, the Emperor is here for you. If you don't die and the Emperor is uneasy, I will protect you and fight out!"
The person speaking was Zhao Zheng, a close friend of the King of Chu. He was only thirty-five years old, but he had broken through the Dongxuan Realm last year and was promoted to the deputy commanding officer of Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town. With a few more achievements, he would be able to...
He is on an equal footing with the four commanders of Jinyiwei.
But he didn't hesitate at the moment. All glory, wealth, power and reputation were not important.
The first reaction was to protect Zhu Zhangui and escape from the capital.
Both of them knew that once Zhu Zhangui was captured by the Changlin Army and fell into the hands of Xichang, Zhu Zhangui would definitely be found guilty of treason, and he might even be "committed suicide out of fear of crime"!
Zhao Zheng knew the cruelty of the power struggle, and of course King Chu also knew it.
But the King of Chu did not adopt Zhao Zheng's opinion. He was already destined to die, so why bother with Zhao Zheng, a good brother?!
There are so many masters in the capital, and Zhao Zheng cannot even deal with the governors of the east and west factories alone! Why let him die with him?!
"If you don't want to serve the new king, then go wander the world. Just remember to send me a jug of wine every year on my birthday!"
After finishing speaking, King Chu tidied up his clothes and walked out of the palace alone.
